Unsightly yards and buildings

You are proud of your yard and your house.  After all, it is your largest investment.  But what do you do if your neighbor doesn't feel the same way you feel?

NBCA encourages you to ask you neighbor to keep their yard and house in good condition.  However, if they won't, please call the number below.  You will be doing a big favor for the entire neighborhood.

If you notice an unsightly yard or an open and vacant or improperly boarded building in your area of the neighborhood, please contact the City's Bureau of Neighborhood Conservation
Code Enforcement Office at (404) 330-6190. 

If you need help with how to proceed or what the status of your complaint is, please call NBCA's Housing Code Enforcement Coordinator, Sally Silver, at 404-261-7854
